Great for the price

First time playing there in about 6 years. It was great with the exception of a couple of visitors (foxes). When did they arrive?!

This course is in rough shape

The only thing good about Porky Oliver is the condition of the greens. The rest of the course is in fair to poor condition from tees to up to greens and including the traps.

Horrible Pace of Play

Tee time was 1:39pm, didn't get to tee off till almost 2pm. Pace of play was horrible, but usual for this course unfortunately. The group ahead of us had a 2 hole gap, had to call the front to get a ranger out for some help. Skipped hole #7 and still took over 2 and a half hours to play 8 holes. Pulled up to hole #10 with one group on the teebox, one in the fairway, 1 group on the green and another group waiting to tee off on #11. We left at the point. The ranger told us they had a scramble going on and that was the reason for the back up. Played many of scrambles and never seen such a lack of movement on the course.

Great Value

Played this course for the 3rd time in the last 2weeks and had a great time. Course could use some sand in the sand traps, some TLC on a couple of the tee boxes, and is in desperate need of water. The greens are fantastic if you like fast greens, but players need to fix their ball marks +1.
